Known as Larry to his friends, he was born in Thomas Gore, Quebec, Canada and raised in Harrowsmith, Ontario, Canada.

His favorite was PA Ginny. One of his favorite days was St. Patrick's Day 1993 when his horse LET's Breakaway won and paid $118 to win. After his racing days, his next passion was golf and for a couple of years stretch he got in at least a round a week. His golfing highlight was a hole-in-one in 2003 at The Meadows at Middlesex Golf Course.
